Harriet Lane.

Mrs Harriet Lane Johnston, the
niece Of the late President Buchanan,
is living this winter in Dresden, with
which city she expresses herself as much
pleased. She was accompanied abroad
BY two young lady cousins-the Misses
Riddle and her intention is to remain
q year or more. rG #
r Mrs. Johnston has held the highest
social position an American woman can
hold both in this country and in Eng
land, and she is high-bred woman Of
stately manner and beautiful personali-
ty. Of late years Mrs. Johnston has
lived in the strictest seclusion, mourn
ing the untimely loss of both Rher chill
dren, two lovely boys, and Of her hus-
band, the late Henry Elliott Johnston
Of Baltimore. She has no near relative
in the world, and within. the last four
or five years she has lost many of her
near friends. She is trying to interest
herself in the sightseeing of her two
young cousins. and to recover at least
her serenity and cheerfulness. She oc-
casionally receives AN old friend, who
vainly strives to lure her from her se-
clusion, and all who see her admire her
serious manner and stately grace even
more than they did her earlier charms.

That rheumatism and neuralgia are 50
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
paiplfnl but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in The
land is the victim of one Of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form OF neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are Of constant oc-
currsnce Not until the discovery OF AtLlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only cc,tain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy. Ii, in the use
OF Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
opcn, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended.

The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared us q remedy for Use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and Kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are

mon and distressing diseases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pcaially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
hea'sachc, constipation, loss Of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For

HOW TO MAKE "A BED.

e x !. N /,
Ordinary sheets, blankets and cover
lids are too short and too narrow; they
do not admit of a bed being we'll made.
A quarter of a yard all round, beyond
the edge of the mattrass, is necessary
for tucking infandfor OVERLAPPING at the
topso, that theshoulders may be covered.
Asworn but clean Blanket should cover
the upper mattrass in winter and over
this the sheet should be spread smooth
" and adequately. The bolster with
its hemstitched linen cover, should be
laid q few inches below the top of the
mattrass so as to better support the
shoulders when lying down. and give
a better pitch to the pillows as, they
stand against the head of the bedstead.
Blankets to be large enough must be of
good quality; cheap blankets are always
unsatisfactory because inadequate both,
in size and warmth. Care should
ne taken that they are not laid evenly
together upon the bed, but the upper
one lowered from the top of the other
fully the depth of the bordering.
$. This graduates the bulk and will
prevent undue weight about the
shoulders. when the clothes are turned
over; it also allows of abundant margin
for ''tucking in'' at the foot; matter
Of great Importance, especially when a
bed is occupied by two person. 49,,
The ''foot" blanket is another i'm
portant item. If the luxury of mar
row down coverlid can be afforded for
the feet so much the better; it is COM
fort that once enjoyed will never after
be willingly dispensed with in cold
weather. 1t should not be too wide or
thick asa feather bed as they are made
in Germany, but large enough to cover
the larger half of the bed and extend
over few inches at the sides. The
coverlid laid smoothly over this, all the
clothes turned down twice at the top
and the whole worked smoothly into the
sides and end of the bedstead, the pill
lows only need to be placed in their
proper position to render the bed
making complete.-Demorest's Maga-
zine. .-..

RHEUMATISM AND CATARRH

Pardee Medicine Co.,
w. Nearly all winter was
confined to my room with infammatory
rheumatism. I commenced using DR..
Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, but after
taking it for time the pain became more
intense, and / was alarmed and feared
the remedy was making me worse, but
continued it's use and soon the pain left
me, and I gradually improved, the sore
ness leaving my arms and shoulders and
seeming to pass out at my toes. 1t has
completely cured me. At the time
commenced using the remedy I had a
throat difficulty and the catarrh, which I
found to be better after taking it, aud it
occurred to me to use it as gargle,
which l did, and to my great satisfaction
I improved rapidly, and to-day am free
from both rheumatism and catarrh. I
consider it indispensable as family
medicine. take one teaspoonful after
breakfast and find it a splendid tonic.
I would advise you to recommend it as a
gargle for. throat troubles and catarrh,
!, for know it will cure. have seen some
remarkable cures from the use of this
remedy, and it is one / can recommend
to all.
I am, very truly yours,

TAKE CARE OF STOCK.

Domestic animals, especially growing
stock so not thrive without a copious
supply oflight. Fattening stock put on
plenty of weight in darkness, but this is
not thrift; it is cruelty and their flesh is
not fit for consumption. Cleanliness
may be observed, says the St. Louis
Republican, one, by keeping the stall
clean, and two by cleaning the animals
themselves. Animals breath, as it were,
through the pores of the skin, as wei!
as by means of their lungs. Dirt stops
up these pores and throws greater bur
dens upon the lungs promoting disease
and acting prejudicially to the products
as foodfor human consumption. There
should be free and constant commun-
cation between the air and the pores,
which is prevented BY dirt on the skin,
and for this reason also the air in the
stable should be pure. Rubbing and
grooming promotes this kind of health
fulness, and the cows udder should be
washed occasionally and rubbed with a
weolen cloth till thoroughlr dry.
5sss FOR HOUSE PLANTS. ii 49,
Without good soil, no one can sue
coed in growing house plants well.
We have little faith in chip dirt for
plants for best results; we have great
faith in what gardeners call "fbrous
loam' for the same purpose, Those
who lived in the country fndit an easy
matter to have good Lot of this article
on hand at all times. City plant grow
ers can procure the same of the florists
at small price per bnshel. How to
get it up is told in few words. Pro-
cure sods to or three inches thick, from
a rich pasture lot, or from the road
side, at some spot where the earth is
good. Stack it up in some out-of-the-
way place until wanted. Break this
into pieces the size of acorns, and plants
will find in it all the elements really
needed to their EXIST noe. Or if It
seems poor, add a little old fine manure
No need Of rubbing such soil through
